Voters said “no” Tuesday to the City of Lawrence’s ballot question on changing the form of government and “yes” to a sales tax increase to support affordable housing and homelessness programs.
A Lawrence teen told legislators Thursday morning that a sales tax exemption for menstruation products, diapers and incontinence products would benefit Kansans as well as a local nonprofit.
Three bills that would help Kansas parents trying to save money on school supplies were received favorably by legislators on Thursday.
Nearly 38% of Kansas’ tax revenue comes from sales taxes, according to Donna Ginther, director of the Institute for Policy and Social Research at KU.
